Hearthstone: Strong Evidence That Whispers of the Old Gods Will Be Released on April 26

4 posts in this topic

User 和歌音 from the National Geographic of Azeroth (NGA) has uncovered compelling evidence that the release date for Whispers of the Old Gods will be April 26 2016.

The NGA is a Chinese World of Warcraft forum, and user hythl0day cross posted the information from there to Reddit. It seems that if you try to buy the Curse of Naxxramas adventure, there is a pop-up that warns you that the cards will only be playable in Wild format after April 26.

Although we have just had April Fool's, other players have tested this and found the same result. It is very likely that this is the release date for the new set, and so you can now book the surrounding days off work.

Hmmm, well, this makes sense, coupled with Aprils Card back and that 26.04 - 27.04 (depending on region) is a standart maintenance day. In addtion on that day other Blizzard products recieve content uptades (HotS for example with Tracer).

So lets cross our fingers and be ready, because soon "Madness will consume you".

Diablo’s 20th Anniversary will take place in the beginning of 2017 and it will be celebrated in all other Blizzard games. Let’s take a look at the special Diablo-themed Tavern Brawl planned for Hearthstone.
During the release of the latest Hearthstone patch, a new Diabloesque card back was discovered. According to an article by Hearthpwn, where we found all this information, this card back is tied to an upcoming Tavern Brawl called “[The] Dark Wanderer”.

The chalk board, heroes, hero powers and some cards of minions, spells and secrets of this upcoming Brawl have been datamined and you can find them in the same Hearthpwn article. The two players will take on the roles of the Dark Wanderer and the Cow King, two figures we all recognise from Diablo II. Presumably, the card back will be rewarded after your first victory in the Brawl.
We are expecting this new Tavern Brawl during the first weeks of January 2017 – just like the other Diablo celebrations in Blizzard games (most notably in World of Warcraft).
